Protocol relative urls

May I ask you to update your bot to use protocol relative urls on Small_and_large_wikis? Ruslik 08:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

interwiki

Global editinterface

Hi, still needed? Matanya 00:05, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, still needed. I informed many people for the ongoing change and for talking about some details but still got nearly no response (py-devs, local admins). So i'll do the change soon without waiting further. Merlissimo 15:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. So is this all that's needed or is there more? Seb az86556 19:38, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

If this contains all language codes, this correct. But on a first look its the normal first-word sorting with en/es first, isn't it? If so, you should add the meta keyword instead.

I'll write a bot script that will notify local communities who wants to have a full local list. (e.g. if code is missing after a langcom approval). Is there a "admin request page" on nvwiki for that? Merlissimo 19:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean "admin request page"? If you want admin-stuff done, just ask me or Stephen. Seb az86556 20:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

So... like this? Seb az86556 20:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

If you are using your completely own interwiki sort list you have to care about adding new language codes. There are about 5-7 new wikipedias every year approved by langcom. If you are only want to have some interwikis moved to top, you can refer to a meta- or auto- list for the rest. So you don't have to care about new wikipedia codes after every langcom approval.

Your change is working. But now you added meta-native-languagename. On your first try you used a order as on meta-native-languagename-firstword. The ordering that was enabled before that change is auto-languagecode. So what is the ording you really want to have? Do you really want a complete reording or only moved en and es to top (in this case you should use auto-languagecode)? Merlissimo 20:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Either one is fine, as long as en-es is on top. I now took the one en.wiki is using. Thanks. :) Seb az86556 21:01, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Still needed? billinghurst sDrewth 11:38, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

You can remove it. The main work i requested it for is done. I may rerequest this right by another vote if it's needed again. Merlissimo (talk) 18:49, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Vagobot

Hi, Merlissimo. I have a problem in the nvwiki with sorting. Previously, it was a different sort (was), and I see that this month has changed sorting. Please tell me where can I download the latest programs (Python) and scripts for interwiki. Best regards, Vago (talk) 10:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I hope that pwd developers will implements this soon. xqt is busy atm.

User:MerlIwBot/family.py contains a config that can be used for pwd config. You have to add the meta section to family.py and replace variable self.interwiki_putfirst at families/wikipedia_family.py with the one at the wikipedia section. Merlissimo (talk) 02:02, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Vago ^tp 07:05, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Small and large wikis/Statistics

Hello, your bot has been adding incorrect numbers to Small and large wikis/Statistics (it says itwikivoyage has 18446744073709551469 articles, sv.wikivoyage.org has 1). Could you fix this? –sumone10154^(talk) 22:51, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
